[Python-apps-team] Bug#628773: xpra keyboard layout trouble

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Hi,

[ Antoine, I'm sending a copy of my mails to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628773 since your
version of xpra does not have bug tracking system. If you wish to reply
there you can just mail 628773 at bugs.debian.org and Cc: me.]

Like this?

lindi1:~$ ssh garfield 'DISPLAY=:0 setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fi -print' | xkbcomp - :4

;
ä
ı

which is an improvement but still not very usable (I really need the
pipe character).
